In fact, according to a new survey by the
Employment Law Alliance (ELA), nearly six of 10 of those
polled (58%) said companies that send work overseas that
could be done by workers here should be punished by the
federal government. ELA is a network of labor and
employment attorneys.

More than half (52%) vowed that if outsourcing
threatened their job, they would turn to government
agencies or elected officials for help. Some 37% said
they would seek help from a labor union while 21% said
they would seek recourse through the courts.
